Hivemind, I need some ideas. I am about to start a 7e CoC campaign with my friends. Back in the olden days, we played 2nd ed. CoC and Stormbringer. I would like to try and create a multiverse campaign that springboards off of CoC. The PCs would have different avatars, or iterations, of their characters in different worlds (like the Dreamlands, a fantasy world, a sci-fi setting, etc.). Sounds cool, right? Michael Moorcockian. Here is my issue: the CoC guys die really, really easy. So I have them spin up a few variations of a central character (the main avatar would be in the Dreamlands, since--in my thinking--that's the world that all others have in common) but in session three, the CoC guy gets splattered by something gooey. Now they need a new character, BUT, they already made a bunch connected to said splattered by gooey CoC guy. See what I'm saying? Any thoughts or work arounds? I was thinking that, maybe, instead of an individual, it could be like a family or bloodline. Not sure. Ideas are most appreciated. I would also like to say that role playing, Chaosium, and D&D5e have kept me sane during the pandemic. So that's a positive. GothmogIV

Greetings all. New to the forums, but not to Chaosium (I bought the CoC boxed set 38 years ago!) It took me a train, a bus, and a long-ass walk to get to the store that had it, but man am I glad that I did. My friends and I played CoC and Stormbringer all through high school and college, then a few more times before jobs, lives, wives, and children caused us to fail our Resist Adulting rolls. With the current situation (Covid) we are back at it using Roll20. We started off with D&D5e, which has been fun but has its issues (overly complicated character builds, too much PC power, the Awokening). So I/we are back! I can't believe how much Chaosium has grown, and I am way excited to be playing again. I have always preferred the Chaosium BRP system to all others. Cheers, my brothers and sisters! Ia Cthulhu!
